New Bedford Police Department announces newest media relations specialist

“We are pleased to announce our newest Media Relations Specialist, Holly Huntoon.

Holly is a Rhode Island Native from Warwick. She attended LaSalle Academy and then went on to get her bachelor’s degree in journalism. While in college, she interned at all three Rhode Island news stations including WJAR NBC 10, WPRI, and WLNE ABC 6. She also covered the 2016 presidential election as a reporter for her university.

After college, Holly went on to work at NBC 10 as the weekend Assignment Editor where she found stories for reporters, set up interviews, wrote articles for the station’s website, controlled their social media pages, and listened to viewer’s story tips and their concerns. On her off days, Holly would go out and shadow reporters on their stories and turn them into her own.

When Holly is not working, she sings. She has been singing since she was 5 years old and took singing lessons for most of her life. When she was a senior in high school, Holly went to Nashville to record an album with her own songs written by her producer. She has also starred in multiple musicals and plays throughout her youth.

Let’s welcome her to our city!”
